As blockchain technology races ahead, some names are focused on technical depth—others, on changing how people engage with crypto.

The Graph and Theta Network have carved out strong niches, handling blockchain data and video content through decentralized systems. But BlockDAG? It's making noise for something far more user-first—by turning crypto mining into something anyone can do from their phone.

In the dynamic landscape of blockchain technology, projects are continually striving to introduce unique value propositions and cater to diverse user preferences. As some projects, such as The Graph and Theta Network, have carved out strong niches handling blockchain data and video content respectively, BlockDAG is making a substantial impact with its user-centric approach to cryptocurrency mining.

While other projects may rely on complicated setups and deep technical skills, BlockDAG is breaking the mold with its groundbreaking initiative to enable anyone to mine crypto from their phones. Through its game Tap Miner and the X1 Miner App, BlockDAG is dramatically lowering the entry barrier to crypto mining, rendering it accessible to a diverse range of individuals.

"We are thrilled to witness the incredible response to Tap Miner and X1 Miner App," remarked a spokesperson from BlockDAG. "Our vision is to create a seamless and enjoyable experience that introduces people to the world of blockchain in a positive and engaging manner. We believe that crypto should be accessible to all, and we are constantly innovating to expand the possibilities of Web3 technology."

The Graph, a project launched in 2020, is focused on providing a simple solution to a very technical problem: making blockchain data easily searchable. The project helps dApps rapidly access relevant information with the help of an open-source indexing system. While the project's main focus is on the Ethereum blockchain, it also supports multiple chains using subgraphs, which act like searchable APIs. Users who curate and index this data are rewarded with GRT, the native token of The Graph.

Since launch, the project has seen strong demand for accessible on-chain data, with active subgraphs increasing from 319 in 2020 to 1,952 by 2025. GRT is currently trading at around $0.1038 and The Graph has a market cap of over $1 billion. The token has seen highs of over $2.90, offering early believers in the project some stellar returns. However, the token has also seen some lows, falling below the $0.50 mark in 2023. Despite the ups and downs, GRT's role in the DeFi space keeps it a relevant token in a rapidly changing market.

Another project that has gained significant attention is Theta Network. Launched in 2018 with an ICO token price of $0.1331 and a market cap of $20 million, the project aims to decentralize video delivery and allow users to share their spare bandwidth in exchange for tokens. The platform is focused on streaming and content delivery, aiming to create a more efficient and cheaper model than traditional streaming platforms by rewarding users who contribute to the system.

Theta's growth was fueled by key partnerships with media companies and the launch of its mainnet in 2019. The project's goal is to empower a generation of Web3 creators and consumers with the next-generation decentralized streaming network.

As of March 28, 2025, THETA is trading at $0.9836, a huge increase from its ICO price, although it remains lower than its 2021 high of $15.90. Despite this, there is still strong interest in the project, with developers and content platforms exploring Theta's unique edge in media delivery.

However, BlockDAG is making a distinct mark with its unique take on crypto earning. The project, known for its Tap Miner game and X1 Miner App, is changing the way people think about mining and rewards.

With X1 Miner App, users can mine crypto directly from their smartphones, eliminating the need for bulky mining rigs, complicated cables, or deep technical skills. At the same time, Tap Miner turns the whole mining experience into an interactive and fun game, further reducing the barrier to entry for new users.

This focus on ease of use and accessibility has helped BlockDAG create a thriving community of over 750,000 X1 miners and 400,000 Tap Miner players. The project has also seen phenomenal financial success, raising $209.5 million since launching its presale.

Currently in batch 27, the X1 token is priced at $0.0248, offering a staggering 2,380% ROI from the first batch. More than 19 billion tokens have already been sold, highlighting the project's massive scale and popularity.

While other projects are focused on technical depth and innovation, BlockDAG is making crypto personal and accessible, turning a complex financial product into something anyone can enjoy.

"We want everyone to have the opportunity to participate in the crypto revolution," added the spokesperson for BlockDAG. "Our mission is to create a world where people can earn, learn, and play together in the metaverse."

As blockchain technology continues to race ahead, projects like The Graph, Theta Network, and BlockDAG are demonstrating the diverse possibilities
